Hopefully this will be the one where we finally move into the newbuilding you can see in the background that we've been working on for nearly eight years. But if The Shack falls down around us before we make the move (you think I'm kidding), there's always the new (to us) little 'guest cottage' parked right next door to our future home. It's good to have a backup plan—and a puppy. Happy New Year!

We have a new beagle pup. She is a hoot. Right now, she has crashed on my feet. We are constantly laughing at her antics. Except for today when she snatched my knitting and proceeded to make a big snaggled yarn ball.

so has Buddy Bear given his sniff of approval for rowdy young pup? puppies are good for the spirits and YES this WILL be the year to move into the building - 'tis time - you've lived quite well in the shack but to have the wonderful house/bakery SO close - sigh - anyhow - happy about the puppy and hopeful about the move

Congrats on the new puppy! I know it will never replace Robin, but it's hard to resist those velvet ears & soulful eyes. We had an old hunting beagle - well, he was owned by a hunter before he came to us. We were the retirement home where he lived a life of luxury on the couch. We are beagle-less now (but not dog-less) and about a 1/4 mile away is a beagle that we can hear baying now and then. I love it (love it best from a distance, LOL)

December 2015 update: Hi! For some reason I can't figure out, Blogger hasn't been letting me leave comments on my own blog (!) for the last several months, so I've been unable to respond to your comments and questions.
